Achieve Your Goals Faster With These 5 Proven Action Steps

Of course, you do! Why wouldn’t you? Everybody has different dreams and desires, and no one wants to work countless of hours on their regular job, because that’s not the way to achieve your goals faster. You are making SOMEBODY’s goals come true. Not yours.

That’s the beauty of a home business. You get to build YOUR dreams. Not someone else’s. Having a home business is a true leveraged way to build your income.

If you want to build YOUR dreams, and create the life for your family that you truly desire, deserve and dream about, then you need to implement these 5 simple (not easy) steps in order to achieve your goals faster.

1. Learn to Prioritize

Have you ever felt totally overwhelmed with everything you need to achieve during the day? You’ve got everything written down and you have no idea where to start?

I’ve been there myself, and I know what it feels like sitting in front of your computer, not knowing exactly what to do, and what’s the most important task for me to accomplish.

The very first thing that you have to do is to write your tasks down (if you haven’t already). Write 10 major ones. And here comes the Pareto principle. Yes, the 80-20 rule. There are so many definitions of that. 20{f3c65145988e2e59c83e583cebd868b487b41a6223d103cb7159bbb31ea456e1} of your work bring you 80{f3c65145988e2e59c83e583cebd868b487b41a6223d103cb7159bbb31ea456e1} of your results. 80{f3c65145988e2e59c83e583cebd868b487b41a6223d103cb7159bbb31ea456e1} of your income will be brought by 20{f3c65145988e2e59c83e583cebd868b487b41a6223d103cb7159bbb31ea456e1} of your customers. And the list goes on and on.

So what you need to do with these 10 major tasks is pretty simple. Pick only 2 tasks that will bring you RESULTS in your business. These have to be money making activities.

So if you want to achieve your goals faster, you MUST focus on the income producing activities, like generating leads and following up with them. These are the 2 big ones.

And what should you do with the rest 8 tasks? Cross them off for today and get back to them either later or tomorrow, or even outsource them!

5 Proven Action Steps To Achieve Your Goals Faster

2. Be Specific

Get very specific with your goals. I can’t stress this enough of how important and crucial it is for YOUR business. You have to know what you want out of life. WHY are you doing this business in the first place?

What kind of lifestyle do you want to live? What type of car do you want to drive? How long do you think it will take you to quit your job or retire your spouse? What countries do you want to travel to? What kinds of hotels do you want to stay at? What’s your desired income goal per month? How much do you need to make per week and per day to hit this target?

When you map out your goals as clear as possible, and when you know EXACTLY what you want to achieve, you’ll get there much faster.

3. Research Your Goal

You are going somewhere, right? It’s so important for you to understand HOW you’re actually going to get there.

It’s as essential to know your goals as it is to know HOW to achieve them. It’s okay to dream about living in a nice house, but only dreaming about it won’t get you anywhere.

You MUST have a plan of action. You action plan is your foundation towards the goals, and it will help you achieve your goals faster.

You need to know EXACTLY what you have to do every single day to get where you wanna be. You have to know how many leads you need to generate. What sources are these leads going to come from. How many do you need per month. How many do you need per day.

And the most important questions of all – how much VALUE do I have to provide to the market place in order to attain my desired income goal?

4. Break It Down

You should have 2 types of goals – short term and long term goals. In the beginning long term goals don’t really seem achievable, do they? That’s why you HAVE to bring these BIG goals into smaller ones.

So let’s say you’ve got a big goal which you want to achieve in 5 years time period. In order for you to do that, you have to take action every single day over an extended period of time. You need to have smaller goals that you can achieve during 30, 60 and 90 days time frame. Not only they sound more achievable, you will also SEE yourself getting there!

So if you want to achieve your goals faster, there’s NO EXCUSES for you not to break your big targets into smaller ones. And this also will create the momentum that you have to gain in order to attain BIGGER and BIGGER goals.

5. Create a Plan Of Action

Action is the foundation of your business. Set the foundation right, and everything else will be much more simple. Without any planned action you’re not gonna be able to achieve any of your goals at all. Period.

You need to create a routine for yourself, that will fit your situation, whether you have a 9-5 job or not. You need to dedicate at least 1-3 hours per DAY for your business, if you’re doing this part time. And if you can’t make this business part time, you won’t be able to do it full time.

We all have 24 hours a day. No one’s special. You MUST find the time, if you’re serious about your business.

So if you want to achieve your goals faster, your plan of action has to be written down. I prefer to put everything in my daily planner, so that I can SEE what I’ve got for every day to complete, and I just run with it. You should do this too! It’s not okay to keep everything in your head. Most likely you will forget something.

Again, just as your goals, your plan of action must be crystal clear and very very specific. There are certain action that you need to be taking to achieve your goals faster. And more importantly, you have to stick to your plan – day in and day out. Period. No excuses. No questions asked.

Thanks for these great tips Jelena! Prioritizing is so important to achieve real success in business. Do the important, income producing tasks first. Sometimes people don’t want to step out of their comfort zone and spend too much time doing unimportant “busy work” tasks that won’t move them forward.
Thanks again
